Swimming Group Volunteers

Leatherhead Swans provides sport and recreation activities for adults with disabilities. We are known as the Happy Club with around 60-70 disabled people coming together to enjoy sport and leisure time activities each week.  

Would you to like to part of this Happy Club and help make our weekly sessions enjoyable for our local disabled community?  We are based out of the Leatherhead Leisure Centre

Are you a good strong swimmer and could spare an hour each week on a Tuesday evening to help support disabled swimmers enjoy their weekly session.

We also encourage our swimmers to take part and enjoy competing against other swimming clubs  and there is always an opportunity to help support our swimmers at different events throughout the year if this is of additional interest.

Whether our swimmers want to compete, swim for fitness and  build strength or just enjoy the freedom of the water.  Our swimming sessions are fun and enjoyable for all.
